Project Updates – 2026 ProcellaCor Treatment Fundraising Campaign

19. November 2025 · Comments Off · Categories: AIS, Aquatic Invasive Species, Dam, Donation Appeal, Fundraiser · Tags: AIS, Eurasian milfoil, invasive species, ProcellaCor, weeds

This post is an update of two important projects that will significantly impact the immediate future of Kinderhook Lake.

First, the KLC Board of Directors has awarded a $165,000 contract to Keller Construction for essential repair work at the Nivers Dam. Engineering inspections found weather and water related concrete deterioration and joint cracks on the primary and secondary spillways. Repairs are already in progress and will replace deteriorated concrete with new rebar and concrete to reinforce the structure. This project is being funded by the Dam Reserve Fund and General Funds; no additional funding is requested from members at this time to complete the dam repair project. Progress photos can be found on the Gallery Page.

Second — and equally important — the Board has accepted a proposal from Burden Aquatics of Averill Park, NY, to obtain DEC permits and treat approximately 140 acres of Eurasian milfoil with ProcellaCor in 2026. This is a major step forward in protecting our lake’s health. If you’ve been on the lake this summer, you’ve seen it — milfoil breaking the surface in coves, boating channels, and much of the shoreline. Left untreated, it quickly forms dense mats that starve native plants of needed sunlight and oxygen, thus making fishing, boating, swimming, and other recreational activities difficult or impossible – just as we saw in the summers of 2019 and 2020.

Our goal is to raise $125,000 to cover the cost of permitting, preparation, and treatment. We’ve already received over $30,000 in early donations, and we’re now launching our ProcellaCor Fundraising Campaign to raise the remaining $95,000 by next summer. The 2021 ProcellaCor treatment kept the lake clear and healthy for an exceptional five years (longer than the typical estimate of about three years). Unfortunately, the milfoil has returned aggressively, and the most efficient, cost-effective, and environmentally responsible way to prevent it from taking over again is through this next ProcellaCor treatment. See FAQs below for more information.

The Kinderhook Lake Corporation is the only organization responsible for maintaining both the dam and the lake’s ecosystem. We receive no funding from other organizations or town, county, or state agencies — the lake is sustained entirely by your donations and volunteer efforts.

Please help us meet this goal by contributing to the Weed Management Fund today — every donation makes a difference. You can donate securely using the Online Membership and Donation Form, or mail your contribution to Kinderhook Lake Corporation, P.O. Box 53, Niverville, NY 12130. KLC is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization; your donations may be tax-deductible.

Thank you for helping protect the lake we all enjoy.

With appreciation,
The KLC Board of Directors

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: Why not just treat partial areas of the lake to save money?

A1: Because milfoil spreads quickly through fragmentation (any small pieces of the plant). Boat propellers and watercraft traveling through remaining milfoil beds create fragments that easily start new growth elsewhere around the lake. Treating isolated patches doesn’t stop the milfoil — it simply regrows and spreads around the lake within a season.

Q2: How long will the ProcellaCor treatment last?

A2: The treatment warranty is for ~90% effective control for up to three years. However, based on our experience from the 2021 treatment, we expect four to five years of effective control, depending on weather, nutrient runoff, and new plant introduction.

Q3: Can the town or state help with funding?

A3: The KLC has approached both the Town and the State in the past for potential support and will continue to do so. We are pursuing avenues for specific grants related to the control of invasive species, a statewide concern. There is no guarantee of our success.

Q4: Do we need a DEC permit to treat the lake with ProcellaCor?

A4: Yes. We operate under strict DEC regulations that control the quantity, location, and methods of how herbicides can be applied, and we work to secure the maximum allowable treatment to ensure the best possible results for the entire lake.

Q5: How does ProcellaCor work to control milfoil?

A5: When applied during milfoil’s active growth phase, ProcellaCor is efficiently absorbed throughout the plant, including roots and shoots, ensuring complete eradication and preventing regrowth from fragments. ProcellaCor’s low dosage and rapid environmental breakdown reduces risks to water quality and non-target plants and organisms.

Please note that no swimming or boating is permitted in the treatment areas during treatment.
Do not use water from treated areas for irrigation or livestock watering for 24 hours after treatment.
Signage will be posted around the lake in accordance with our DEC permit.

ProcellaCor Spot Treatment Coming This Summer

10. March 2023 · Comments Off · Categories: AIS, Aquatic Invasive Species · Tags: AIS, Eurasian milfoil, invasive species, milfoil, ProcellaCor, water treatment, weeds

The KLC has submitted a permit application to the NYS Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) to treat up to five acres of Eurasian milfoil with ProcellaCor in June 2023. This is the same herbicide that was used to treat and eradicate over 200 acres of milfoil in 2021. This is a preventative measure to eradicate a few small patches of milfoil identified last summer before they spread and turn into larger weed beds that could interfere with boating and other recreational activities. The cost of the treatment will be covered by your donations to the Weed Management Fund. As required by DEC, ProcellaCor product labels must be posted on our website; see the sidebar Quick Links. Additional information about this summer’s treatment will be posted here later in the spring.

ProcellaCor Update 1

02. June 2021 · Comments Off · Categories: AIS, Update · Tags: Eurasian milfoil, milfoil, ProcellaCor

As we move into June, we can see that the Eurasian milfoil is flourishing all around the lake. This is actually a good thing because ProcellaCor is most effective when milfoil is in full growth mode; it will allow the plants to better absorb the herbicide all the way down to the roots. Our DEC permit application has already been approved and, weather permitting, we hope to be treating the milfoil with ProcellaCor during the third week of June. For those of you not aware of what we are up to, please see our 14 January 2021 post below.

During a pre-treatment weed survey of the lake in early May, an additional 46 acres of milfoil were identified by Burden Aquatics, expanding the milfoil beds from 160 acres to over 200 acres. DEC has already amended our permit to include the additional acreage as it is critical that we address this issue now before it gets even worse.

Although ProcellaCor is absorbed by the milfoil within the first 3-6 hours after treatment, it will take weeks to see evidence of the results. Here is what you can expect to see.

One week after treatment, the plants should still be standing but may look sad and begin to wilt.
At the end of week 2, half the plants may still be standing but will have turned brown and brittle.
By the end of week 3, most of the plants (but not all) will have fallen to the bottom of the lake.
By the end of week 4, it will be difficult to detect any evidence of the plants.

A couple of things to be aware of, (1) milfoil that has not germinated at the time of the ProcellaCor treatment will not be affected and growth may begin later in the summer, and (2) milfoil fragments, whether floating or within the water column, will likely not be affected by the ProcellaCor treatment and may start new growth later in the season or next year. If you see weeds floating around your dock or shoreline, please try to remove them from the lake to reduce the potential of them starting new plant growth.

The treatment date will be posted on the KLC Facebook page as well as on our website as soon as it is confirmed. As required by DEC, signage will be posted around the lake 24-hours before the treatment date. As a reminder, there will be an irrigation restriction for up to 5-days after the treatment and a swimming restriction on the day of the treatment.

Although there are no other legal restrictions, we ask that all boats stay off the lake the day of the treatment. Boating activity will cause additional water movement that may disperse and dilute the herbicide and potentially make it less effective.

We are proud to say that our members have been very generous this year and we have almost reached our goal to raise the $70,000 needed to treat the original 160 acres. However, treating the extra 46 acres identified this spring will cost an additional $20,000, so we are raising our fundraising goal to $90,000. We ask those of you who have not yet donated to the ProcellaCor Fund to please consider doing so now. We also ask those of you who have already donated to please consider an additional donation to help offset the cost of treating the additional acreage. For donation information, please click the link at the top of this page or in the right-hand column.

Remember, based on the reported experience at other lakes, this ProcellaCor treatment should be effective for up to three years. While the lake will never be 100% weed-free, we can look forward to many years of boating and recreational activities not hampered by enormously thick beds of milfoil.
